REGISTRATION OF 1800 PREDICTED BY SPENCER Present Total of 1726 Shows Lead of 210 Over Figures for Last Spring Term Registration this term already shows an increase of 210 over last spring term, although the final figures will not be known until after April 17, the last day of registration. The temporary figure of 1726 will approach the 1800 mark at the present rate, according to Carlton E. Spencer, registrar. The usual decrease from winter to spring terms was greater among men than women being 12 and 8 per cent respectively. “Many of the students stay out of college to work during the spring term,” said Mr. Spencer in accounting for the spring decrease. Up to the present, the registration among the men is 21 graduate students and 878 undergraduates: among women there are 11 graduates and 816 under graduates. However, the graduate school has until Friday, April 14, before being charged an extra fee for late ■ registration. The total of 1726 shows an increase of 12 per cent over the 1516 of last spring term. If the number registered reaches the expected 1800 mark the decrease from ! the winter sum of 1932 will yet be one per cent smaller than last year's de crease from 1655 to 1516. BULLETIN ISSUED FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS Conditions and Courses at University Described ‘‘The Next Step” is the name of a new bulletin issued by the promotion department of the University, under the direction of Prof. F. L. Stetson, of the I education department, to all high school seniors and prospective college students in the state. The bulletin is for the general information of the high school i student in helping him decide his future course in college, and presents material of a valuable nature in defining to him the exact content of the courses pre sented by the University. Written on the general assumption ' that the average high school student has a very vague idea of the oppor tunities open to him through the pro j fessional schools and departments of j the University, and of the line of em ployment he wishes to follow when 'through college, the bulletin presents the desired information in a manner that is designed to arouse interest and inquiries from the prospective, student. The bulletin opens with a. personal letter to the student which sets forth the value of preparation in one’s life work. The exact nature of expenses i while at the University is set forth and the sources of employment for students who wish to earn their way partially or wholly while in college, are defined. The courses of the 22 departments of the College of Literature, S.cience and the Arts are described, and a list of some of the professional, semi-profes sional and cultural opportunities result ing from the courses in this school are explained in detail. The professional schools of business, journalism, law, medicine, architecture, music, physical education and social service are outlined with a list of the vocational opportunities included. “The Next Step” is one of the Uni versitv of Oregon leaflet series issued monthly bv each department of the Uni versity, but this issue was designed as a combined bulletin on the vocational advantages of the University courses.

STETSON BACK Prof. F. L. 8tetson has returned from Spokane where he attended the meeting of the Inland Empire Teachers’ associ ation. PROF. F.S, DUNN WRITING NOVEL OF CAESAR'S TIME Story Begun 19 Years Age Occupies New Field Frederic S. Dunn, head of the Latin department, has been reading to his Roman history class an uncompleted historical novel of which he himself is author, based on the life of Caesar during his Gallic wars. The book, on which Professor Dunn has been working for 19 years, is now about one-third finished. The characters are all historical with the exception of the heroine, Calidia, whose name Professor Dunn finally de cided upon after choosing and discard ing several othens. C^Jidia in the story is the niece of Milo, a Roman, who assassinated the emperor Claudius and whose defense Cicero delivered one of his greatest orations. Trebatius, the hero, to whom some of Cicero’s extant letters were writ ten, was a real historical character sent to Caesar in Gaul by Cicero with a letter of introduction. Trebatius was in Gaul at the time of the insurrection there in the year 54 during Caesar’s second expedition to Britain. Other real characters in the novel are Caesar, Claudius, Milo and Claudia. The name of the book has not been definitely selected but will be either “The Man in the Scarlet Cloak,” or “Ave Caesar Imperator.” Professor Dunn started his novel when he was kept up at nights during the illness of his daughter at the time of the typhoid epidemic in 1903, and has worked at intervals on it since that time. Other chapters were written when he himself was ill in the hospi tal and while he was aboard the Meg antic, sailing for Europe. The chapter originally written for the opening chap ter is now over in the middle of the book. A good many of the pages of the manuscript are written on the backs of old blue books. The novel was started. Professor Dunn said, because virtually no good novels based on Caesar’s life during the Gallic wars have ever been written.
